Active Playlist problem

Hi
I'm trying to organise my movies first by 'first letter' and then by 'first word' - I also use a smartlister filter where type has to be video. This works fine if the movie has at least two words in the title .ie
A <= part of hierarchy
Adams <= part of hierarchy
Adams Rib <= film I can select in the folder 'Adams'

my problem happens if the movie name is one word e.g
A <= part of hierarchy
Avatar <= part of hierarchy
'nothing here' <= empty folder

How can I fix this so that I can pick Avatar as a movie to play ?
thanks

The sql being executed to get the files is looking for a title like Avatar followed by a space character, to work around this you can edit the title in the properties of Avatar and add a space to the end and this will allow the file to be listed.

Thanks for your reply , your solution certainly works; however I have a lot of files and I would not like to do this again. Does Mezzmo have any scriptable interface that could be interacted with ?
A simple script to iterate through all the files in the db and if there are no spaces in the current title field then append one would do it I think.

I think we can fix this so that it does not need the extra space added by adjusting the sql statement generated so that it checks for the word with a space following and also the word with no characters following it.
